Internships

In a competitive job market, experience is an important commodity. Internships provide you with valuable skills and real-world perspective regarding your chosen career field while giving you the opportunity to explore the possibilities for the future.

Our students have pursued internships with organizations such as the FBI, Guiness World Records, Glassdoor, Roanoke County Police Department, Hokies on the Hill, Accenture Federal Services, NASA, EMILY's List, and Virginia Tech.

Internships are one of the great ways to get experience in your field. Career and professional development office offers resources for students looking to connect with companies. Some of these include:

I interned for a full service law firm in Pittsburgh, PA. I learned a lot about working in a large law firm and I had the opportunity to network with practicing attorneys. This experience helped me make the decision to pursue law school.

I completed my field study at Virginia Tech's Adult Day Services. It has been a great opportunity and I'm excited to use the experience as preparation in pursuing my Master's Degree in healthcare administration.
